This is based upon Jason's work on xscale.
Most of the interrupt handling code is now written in C using an asm stub to
call into the C code.
spl* now only updates a software mask, and does not update the hardware,
this should be much faster.
The new code works well on cats, it's untested on netwinder, but should work.
The code implements generic soft interrupts.
More work is still required to bring the isa interrupt handling code upto
scratch currently all isa interrupts are handled at IPL_BIO on the footbridge.
This may cause isa interrupts to be handled later than they should be.
I plan to fix this in the near future.
joins other machdep files)
Saves maintaining multiple copies of the same thing, the only differences
were:
IRQ line used on the footbridge (made that a define in include/isa_machdep.h)
name of a dma_ranges variable contained arch name, so just made it generic.
Currently statclock runs at 64hz, maybe it should be faster or slower, I did
try it being the same as hz, but that just made it look like we spent 10% of
time handling interrupts, rather than the 3% that this gives.
Also fix the IPL_LEVELS for netwinder.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
file, <arm/cpuconf.h>, which pulls in "opt_cputypes.h" and then defines
the following:
* CPU_NTYPES -- now many CPU types are configured into the kernel. What
you really want to know is "== 1" or "> 1".
* Defines ARM_ARCH_2, ARM_ARCH_3, ARM_ARCH_4, ARM_ARCH_5, depending
on which ARM architecture versions are configured (based on CPU_*
options). Also defines ARM_NARCH to determins how many architecture
versions are configured.
* Defines ARM_MMU_MEMC, ARM_MMU_GENERIC, ARM_MMU_XSCALE depending on
which classes of ARM MMUs are configured into the kernel, and ARM_NMMUS
to determine how many MMU classes are configured.
Remove the needless inclusion of "opt_cputypes.h" in several places.
Convert remaining users to <arm/cpuconf.h>.
Note that this has been compiled on some systems, cats, IQ80310, IPAQ, netwinder and shark (note that shark's build is currently broken due to other reasons), but only actually run on cats.
Shark doesn't make use of the functionality as I believe there has to be a correlation between OFW and the kernel tables so that calls into OFW work.
MACHINE_ARCH since <arm/param.h> already sets it correctly to "arm".
* For platforms which are not yet ELF, defined MACHINE_ARCH to "arm32"
if __ELF__ is not defined by the C preprocessor.
* In <arm/param.h>, clarify the rules about when MACHINE and
MACHINE_ARCH are defined, and to what. Also, for ELF platforms,
int the non-_KERNEL case, force both MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH to "arm",
rather than allowing platform-specifc code to define either.
* Use a common set of exception handlers for all arm32 platforms.
* New FIQ framework based on discussions with Ben Harris, shared
between arm26 and arm32.
broke too many assumptions makde by other parts of the source tree,
and the strategy and how it was supposed to work was never discussed
on tech-userlevel, nor was it applied consistently (to all ARM ports
and to other ports which have common MACHINE_ARCH code, such as MIPS,
m68k, powerpc).
Verified to complete a full "make build" on cats, dnard, evbarm,
and netwinder.
<arm/arm32/vmparam.h> (mostly the stuff that's tied to the pmap
implementation).
- Since the MMU definitions in pte.h are specific to ARM processors
that support 32-bit mode, move pte.h to <arm/arm32/pte.h>.
- Make the Netwinder startup file build again (use PT_B|PT_C, rather
than PT_CACHEABLE, since the latter expands to a variable these days).
model in use for a given platform (__PROG26 vs __PROG32), then pulls
in <arm/types.h>. Change each ARM port to pull in <arm/arm26/types.h>
or <arm/arm32/types.h> as appropriate. Change all references to PROG26
and PROG32 to __PROG26 and __PROG32. Eliminate the opt_progmode.h
header file.
